moving the transport to the desired position by using the transport buttons. When you see the desired End time on the time display, press the End select button. Now position the transport to the desired Start time and press the Start select button.
4. Press the Edit select button to perform the operation.
There are five edit operations on the MDR24/96. Three are different ways to place audio onto the clipboard, and two are different ways to return audio from the clipboard to the selected track(s).
Cut
Access the Cut command by first pressing the TRACK/EDIT button, then pressing the Cut select button,
and then choosing Cut when you are ready to perform the operation. Cut removes the audio between the Start
and End points on the selected
tracks and places it onto the clipboard. In its place on the original track will be blank space, silence. Use the Cut command if you want to remove a section from a track because you don’t like it or because you want to move it someplace else. Cut should be used if you would like everything else on the track to remain in the same position.

Join
Access the Join command by first pressing TRACK/EDIT, then pressing the Cut select button, and then choosing Join when you are ready to perform the operation. Join is similar to Cut in that it removes the selected audio from the track and places it onto the clipboard. The difference is that a blank space is not left behind. Instead, any data on the selected tracks following the edit selection will be slid back in time to join with the audio preceding the edit selection. This is analogous to removing a section of analog tape and splicing the ends back together; the cut section is thrown out and the remaining tape will now reach the play head earlier in time. The difference is that this can be done with just the selected tracks as opposed to all 24 tracks as is the case with analog tape. The Join command is useful for removing a section of silence from a live set or to fix phasing problems between two microphones on the same source by removing a very small amount at the beginning of one of the tracks.
